I am now using twisted pair on my receiving Delta antenna and is less noise than the coax. Question: Any one ever tried using light fibers as a near ultimate transmission line from their receiving an

Tim, Good information, but I was thinking of a way for "Mr. Average DXer" to get a connection, that is not adding noise, from his on site receiving antenna. 73 Bruce I think that is called "a remote

I do not know of any analog optical coupling technology that has nearly the dynamic range of copper. 50dB is considered quite good HF dynamic range for completely sealed analog optocouplers. Start pu

People forget, or don't know, fiber cables require modulators and demodulators. The modulators and demodulators are not simple, and have horrible dynamic range compared to a simple piece of coax. I c

I am now using twisted pair on my receiving Delta antenna and is less noise than the coax. If you now have less noise with a twisted pair, it only means you had a significant design or installation i

Um, no... Not really -- you do NOT need modulators and demodulators to use fiber for *analog* applications. If you want to run your signal over a commercial transport network you will (to digitize th

CATV analog modulation video over fiber has a typical 50dB dynamic range. See e.g. http://www.emcore.com/wp-content/uploads/Medallion-6000-Series.pdf Tim N3QE Um, no... Not really -- you do NOT need

I see your point, since the signal is undergoing a conversion. My thinking was modulator = baseband to some kind of RF or digital signal, i.e. something very different from the original signal in ter

BTW, Bill, amplitude modulation and "mixing" are the same process mathematically. In a "mixer" we just select one of the "sidebands" -depending on whether we are doing "up-conversion" or "down-conver

There are niche applications, called "antenna remoting", where photonic and fiberoptic technologies are used to transmit RF signals from an antenna to a remote receiver. You can buy commercial system
